Because of the high fatality rate of untreated pneumococcal
pneumonia, both the disease and its principal cause, the
pneumococcus, were objects of intense scrutiny by physicians and
bacteriologists during the last two decades of the nineteenth
century and the first half of the twentieth. As a result,
scientists learned much of the fundamental importance to
microbiology, immunology, and genetics while developing the
pneumococcal vaccine.

Elegant, suggestive, and clarifying, Lewis Thomas's profoundly
humane vision explores the world around us and examines the complex
interdependence of all things. Extending beyond the usual
limitations of biological science and into a vast and wondrous
world of hidden relationships, this provocative book explores in
personal, poetic essays to topics such as computers, germs,
language, music, death, insects, and medicine. Lewis Thomas writes,

realization that we are a social species, you tend to keep an eye
out for the pieces of evidence that this is, by and large, good for
us."
